Must We Toast Babes In English? There are so many funny and stupid things happening in Africa -- (West Africa, as far Im concerned) -- courtesy of colonization and the inferiority complex mindset that everything Western is better than anything Local/Native/ Ours. Whoever made it a MUST that babes be toasted in English and not in our Native languages has really succeeded in stuffing mud into our brains. And that is one of those examples of our finished state as Africans. You are an Igbo guy. You meet a babe for the first time. She is Igbo. She speaks and understands Igbo. You proceed to toast her in Igbo. You tell her your feelings in our Native language. She admired your good looks and every other thing about you but she snubs you because you didnt respect her as a lady by toasting her in English. And because of that too, she sees you as a local and inexposed guy while shes the international and exposed babe who may not even be able to speak impeccable English for 30 mins with sustained logic and high brain wave arguments. Even in our villages, nay rural areas of our Igboland, you will discover the growing funny and stupid trend of guys who spoke more often in our Igbo language than English -- considering the rural area they stayed often -- sweating profusely to impress a babe with English language. How did we get there? Those guys have been frustrated by the specter of having their ladies carted away by some wanna-be guys who came back from an urban area and spoke sweet English into the ears of the ladies such that those ladies fell for them. And in other to keep their babes, theyre now struggling to speak sweet-sounding English whether terrible or not, so long it has to do with is or was. All guys are victims to this silly standard set for us by our ladies. Me too! From my observation, its also becoming same in other parts of the Southern Nigeria: from Akwa-Ibom to Cross Rivers to Rivers to Delta to Benue to Edo, etc. But I must say that Yoruba people are not populously given to this nonsense like the Igbo and others are. Infact, if you are not a Yoruba guy but knew how to speak Yoruba fluently and romantically, believe me, a sweet-looking Yoruba Obinrin will fall for you because they take so much pride in using their language for everything they do, and thats why they have their Native greetings even for someone going to ease himself in a toilet. And if thats so, why wont they have their Native way of expressing romance and love? I so love Yoruba people when it comes to that. But might I ask our Igbo ladies on behalf of local Igbo guys like me: *Why must you set for us the difficult standard that we must only get you when we toast you in English Language and not in Igbo Language? Does English make you reach orgasm when on bed or does it produce money when spoken? *Does it mean there are no romantic feelings in other languages save English? And if you say yes, why do you ladies so much admire Indian Romance movies where they never speak English but their Native language? *Dont you ladies think that youve also been brainwashed to see love and romance as real only when its about English and not Igbo? Would you ever know when youre being deceived with that English? *Sneaks via Azu Uno tupuu ndia ewelu acid kwakpoo m anya*
